Patient's question:
A week ago, when the temperature dropped, sleeping on a cool mat felt a bit cold. That night, my stomach started to hurt, and the entrance of my stomach always felt a dull pain. Eating a little food made it slightly better. Now, using a belly band to tighten the area around my stomach feels a bit better. How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
This situation is considered a symptom of gastritis. In daily life, it is important to avoid smoking, drinking tea and alcohol, and pay attention to rest. Eating should be on a regular schedule, and dinner must be eaten on time. Breakfast is essential; otherwise, not only will the stomach get hungry and sick, but it can also easily lead to gallstones. If an endoscopy shows inflammation, erosion, or ulcers, and a pathology examination reveals hidden cancer, surgery should be considered for treatment. It is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department of a hospital for examination to confirm the condition and provide targeted treatment. It is also important to eat meals at regular times and have breakfast. It is suggested that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life, maintain a cheerful mood, and enhance their physical fitness to slow down the recovery process.
